Paragon's IT Leadership Forum Scholarship Foundation has raised over $89,000 in scholarship money for students studying STEM at Iowa colleges and universities. Our internship program communicates IT internship opportunities to the scholarship winners, with the aim of keeping STEM talent in Iowa.

IT Scholarship Winners

The winners of the 2018 Paragon IT Leadership Forum Technology Scholarship (pictured below) are the future IT workforce. Nineteen scholarships have been awarded this year to Iowa high school seniors who have been active in technology and plan to earn an STEM-related degree. Each recipient receives $1,000 to apply towards their college education. Of the 19 recipients, six are involved in HyperStream, a Technology Association of Iowa program that matches mentors with high schools throughout Iowa, and one attended TechJourney’s Tech Camp. A record five recipients are from Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, IA and ten will attend Iowa State University (49 of the 89 students who have received a Forum Technology Scholarship chose ISU). All will attend an Iowa college or university, as required by the scholarship rules. Fourteen winners will be computer science or engineering majors. Congrats to all!
